Cookie Policy

What Cookies Are

Cookies are short text files that a site leaves in your browser. With their help the site can tell a returning device from a new one, which is how a chosen setting survives between visits and how visits get counted. Cookies contain no programs and cannot read other files on your computer or phone.

This page covers the cookies placed by our site. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes the wider handling of personal information under PIPEDA.

Why We Use Them

Our pages would load and display less reliably without a handful of technical cookies. These keep the layout stable, record that you have already seen the cookie notice and help protect the site from automated abuse. Blocking them may cause some pages to look or behave oddly.

A second group of cookies gives us statistics about visits. We see how many people open a review, how long they stay on it and which pages they move to next. The figures are looked at in aggregate. They tell us which casino reviews readers depend on most, so those can be rechecked first when a licence or a set of terms changes. We do not use these statistics to identify individual visitors, and we do not share them with casinos for advertising.

Session and Persistent Cookies

How long a cookie lives depends on its kind. A session cookie is wiped when the browser closes, while a persistent one waits on the device for its expiry date unless you delete it sooner. The technical cookies here are mostly of the session kind. Statistical cookies are usually persistent, since a returning visitor can only be counted correctly if the browser still holds the earlier file.

Cookies Set by Casino Websites

Our reviews contain links to casino sites that we do not operate. Once you follow one of those links, the casino may place its own cookies in your browser, for example to keep you logged in or to track the source of a registration. Those files are governed by the casino’s own cookie and privacy policies, and we have no access to the data they collect. If this matters to you, check those policies before you create an account.

Managing Cookies

Consent under Canadian privacy law has to be meaningful, which is why the choice to accept or refuse cookies stays with you. Statistical cookies can be turned down in the notice that appears the first time you open the site. Beyond that, your browser has its own controls.

In Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge, look in the privacy or security part of the settings menu. That is where stored cookies can be viewed and deleted, either individually or in one go, and where new ones can be blocked for a single site or for all of them. Mobile browsers keep the same controls inside the app’s settings. One side effect of clearing cookies is that your saved choices go with them, so the cookie notice will reappear on the following visit.

Refusing statistical cookies does not limit access to any review. Blocking the technical ones is also possible, though certain parts of the site may then load incorrectly.

Changes to This Policy

We edit the cookie list on this page whenever a feature is added to the site or taken away. A revised version takes effect on the day it is posted here.
